$$

Answer 1

To evaluate the expression \((56 + 23) - (34 + 112)\), we first calculate the sums inside the parentheses.

First, compute \(56 + 23\):
\[
56 + 23 = 79
\]

Next, compute \(34 + 112\):
\[
34 + 112 = 146
\]

Now substitute these results back into the expression:
\[
79 - 146
\]

Now, compute \(79 - 146\):
\[
79 - 146 = -67
\]

The result is \(-67\).

To express \(-67\) as a fraction in simplest form, we write it as:
\[
\frac{-67}{1}
\]

Thus, the final answer in fraction form is:

\[
\boxed{\frac{-67}{1}}
\]
